Abstract

An optical Amplitude and Pulse Position Modulation (APPM) mapping scheme for strong turbulent atmospheric channel is proposed to optimize Bit Error Rate (BER) performance. In this scheme, a non-equidifferent amplitude series is designed based on quantitative BER analysis of the specific A×M APPM demapping procedures containing time slot selection and amplitude decision in selected time slot, which are different from traditional ones. Simulation results of 4×4, 4×8 and 4×16 APPM show 4, 3.4 and 6.9 dB SNR gain against traditional APPM scheme respectively. Thus significant BER performance improvement is achieved which helps to enhance reliability of free-space optical communication systems.
